REV. A. B. WRIGHT.



ured by these Masonic rules, we do not hesitate to
call our brother great. His precept and example
were always found tending to promote every good
work. Masons ever rejoice at the elevated char-
acter of their members, and it is extremely gratify-
ing to them to be able to point to such a man, while
living, and say,'He is one of us;' and when dead,
to refer to his life as an example, and to embalm his

and obtained admission into our Order, and for more

and energies to our beloved institution, of which he
always spoke in terms of love and veneration. He
became a member of Sunbright Lodge by affili-

1891. He has left to the Craft the fragrance of a
pure and holy life, the best treasure he could have
placed in our archives.
   " He fought the good fight, he finished his course,
he kept the faith, and there awaited him the crown
of righteousness. He was one of those of whom it
is written, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lordl from henceforth, yea, sayeth the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labors, and their works do
follow them.' Truly, Brother Wright's works are
many, and they continue with us. Many souls once
shrouded in darkness, to-day thank God for the
light that camne to them through the ministrations
of our brother.
